Letters Patent No. 98,713, dated January 11, 1870:

IMPROVEMNT INv SAWING-MACHINES.

The Schedule referred to in theme Letters :Patent and making part of the same.

To `all whom it may concern `Be it known that I, GYRUs W. SALADEE, of Gircleville, iu the county-of Pickaway, and in the State of Ohio, have invented a certainy new` and useful Improvement in Combined Buck-Saw and Ghurn; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description'thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.A

The nature of' my invention consists in the arrangement of' the several parts as they are hereinafter described.

To enable'those skilled in the art to construct andI operate myinvention, I will now proceed'to more fully and exactly describe its make, use, and advantages.

In the drawings- A represents the platform, on which the horse B irs) firmly fixed, as are also the standard O and braces d. E is the crank by which hand-poweris applied to drive the machine, through means of pulley-wheels F and F, connected by cord j, and having the bearings of' their journals in the standard C, the journal of wheel F being sufficiently long to serve as the journal of eccentric G.

0n this eccentric G is a pin, to which the drivingrod H ofthe saw W is connected. and the connectingrod I of the churn.

The cross-head brace K has secured to it a standard, L, having a bolt serving as a pivot for lever M.

At the forward end of this lever M, the driving-rod N, which operates the dasher of churn O, is attached.

The saw XV is suspended by a bolt, w, serving as connecting-means between the saw-frame and lever P, lever P having its fulcrum on bolt p, and raised or lowered, and so raising or lowering the saw W, by the connecting-rod q and lever Q, which is operated yb the hand of the operator. of the machine, when desired.

The saw W is held in a raised position by throwing lthe clutch a under the lever P, and holding it securely while a new or fresh cut isbeiug made ready for the saw.

By the guide R, which is firmly secured at its lower end, so as not to allow any side play to the same, when acting in combination with the guide S, and the lever P, by passing through a slot in said lever, the front end of the saw-frame is kept in position The log-holder T is secured to the horse B by bolt t, on which it turns as a pivot, when it is necessary to adjust a log to be out.

On the under side of log-holder T are several teeth or spikes, 1, 2, and 3, which assist the ratchet b and rack U in binding the log to be sawn or curt firmly to the horse B. t

These appliances forholding the log, in connection with the guides R and S, are peculiarly adapted for rendering the action of the saw W more easy and edimental rack, and ratchet-,) is a labor-saving machine,

well calculated to meet the requirements of' a cheap, portable, and durable buck-saw, and also have a churning-attachment, thus saving not only labor, but both time and money.

Having thus fully described my invention, l Y What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ist The vibrating saw-frame W, with guides R and S, pivoted suppolting-beam P, lever Q, and pitman H, when constructed and arranged as andl for the purposes specified. y

In testimony that I claim the above, Ihereunto subscribe my name, ou this, the 27th day of November, 1869.
